Ambiance: Perfect. The use of differing textures, materials, and lighting, from the seats to the walls, is done artfully and conveys elegance and the perfect environment to relax and enjoy the meal. Service: The servers speak with a monotonous calm but are professional, knowledgeable, and attentive. They offered recommendations with clear explanations, and we never lacked water or had to look far for them. Food: So delicious, which is why we returned! The burger for brunch is delightful and for dinner, the Caesar Salad and Bavette were definitely choices we would also recommend. Complaints: We came on two separate days, once for brunch and once for dinner. The hostesses were the weak points on both visits. The first hostess brusquely told us to wait for our server when we thought to pay up front. All three hostesses incessantly touched their hair, and barely made eye contact. Both times, there were 1-2 flies as well. read more

The place was filled and lively on a Monday night! It was too loud inside so I sat outside. The tables were a little dirty/had dirt/dust, I wish they had wiped them down before seating me. The service was nice and attentive, apologized for the food being a tiny bit slow (but I didn't mind, I had a book with me). The food was overpriced ($15 for a single crab cake) and very salty, and the small plate w/ the rainbow chard needed more actual chard and less bacon. But it was nice enough and if I had been craving something more salty, it would've been great. I'm not sure if I'll go back. If I do, it'd be more for drinks w/ a friend when I'm not thinking about budget, and less for dinner (and I'll ask for more water and order one less small plate (I ordered 3)). Saw someone else say it's a shame they don't have a happy hour, and I agree - that would probably be just the right slightly lower price point for the small portion sizes of the small plates. read more

We had a great dinner at Echo & Rig. The food was absolutely delicious, and I really appreciated that they offer a gluten-free menu with plenty of options. Service was good. The ambiance was beautiful and made for a really enjoyable evening. The only downside was that there didn't seem to be any air conditioning or fans, so it was uncomfortably warm inside. If they improved the temperature, it would easily be a 5-star experience. Overall, I'd definitely come back for the food and atmosphere! read more

Had a great time. Delicious tomahawk with sauces-blue cheese was the best! Mashed potatoes. Yummy cauliflower and beet salad. Service was fabulous. Attentive and gave us a complimentary birthday dessert! Nice restaurant! Only thing was they opened the big window behind the bar which was pretty but it was 92 out and it let flies in. read more

Dinner for 4. - Ambiance (4*) Cozy booths with nice lighting. Easy to have conversation. - Service (3*) Courteous, but a bit clumsy with pacing. Waters constantly refilled. Entrees served as I was still enjoying my soup. - Onion Soup, $10 (3*) Good flavor. Cheese seemed like it had been pre-melted then added on top? It was hard and separate from the soup. Soup was also served lukewarm, which heightened my suspicious further. - Zabuton Steak, $42 (3*) Cool to see several types of unique cuts on the menu. Described as soft like A5, it was anything but. Cooked perfectly medium rare though. Came with a sad looking pile of potato chips. - Value (3*) About right for a steakhouse. - Final Word Identity crisis- trying to be refined but perhaps also casual at the same time? read more

We had a lovely lunch at Echo & Rig recently. I ordered the Drunken Goat, while my husband sampled the Pure Black Bavette and my son had their Creekstone Prime New York Strip. We sat on the outdoor patio as we had our small dog with us and it was a bit warm but most of the shaded options were taken. The service was solid. Our waiter Justin took our order but unfortunately after a while was advised by the kitchen that they were out of the Red Wine-Marinated Goat Cheese for my meal. He apologized and brought me a menu to choose something else but I was worried that my boys would have to continue to wait for their meals if I ordered anything too large so I asked for their Pork Belly Burnt Ends appetizer. I also asked him if they could bring out the plates for the gentleman when they were ready and not wait for me as it was getting pretty warm and we were quite hungry. He made sure that happened and my boys got their meals soon after. He also made my app on the house which was very sweet. He is excellent at his job. The meat was all cooked to perfection and the Charred Onion sauce was delicious! When my appetizer came out it was small but flavorful and my son and husband really enjoyed their meals. We will definitely be back to try more of the offerings here in the future. read more

We had brunch before graduation at Golden 1 and it was great choice. The place was elegant and modern, very clean. Service was perfect, both efficient and courteous at all times. Belgian waffle was huge and tasted like dessert for breakfast, fruit was fresh and butter and whipped cream both was creamy and nicely whipped. Nice waffle. The ricotta pancakes were huge. Fluffy with great flavor. Excellent syrup to match pancakes and the whipped cream and butter were great adds. Chicken sandwich was flavorful with the most amazing aoili which was slightly sweet and rich at same time. Served with freah chips. Streak and frites was the only knock. I had the steak medium but still a bit tough and not as tender as expected. But the eggs and fries made up for it. I had eggs scrambled and it was fluffy. The shoestring fries were crispy and yum! Overall a great experience in a nice place. With tip, came out to $117 for 4 peoples. read more

On a work trip to Sacramento I was thrilled when I learned that there was an echo and rig in the area I was going to be visiting. Having been to the one in Las Vegas last summer I had been dreaming of their signature burger since. It was everything I remembered it being; juicy, flavorful, perfect umami taste in every bite. My colleagues enjoyed their meals as well, with the lamb and shrimp cesar being top favorites. We are only here for two days and can't wait to go back tomorrow. read more

Consistent spot in Sac... Came here for lunch. Ordered a few apps and one main. Favorites were the bone marrow, burnt ends and the crab cake. Oysters were good, just they only had the one option, and size wise they were at the max of what I can handle. The only food item we didn't love was the steak. We ordered it medium rare, and it was rare and a tad cold. That was probably due to the service. Our waiter was the only one covering the entire floor, which included a big party in the back. That led to long wait times for food. Overall place is nice, food is consistent, just maybe a tad understaffed. read more

Came for our anniversary dinner. We loved it! The ambience, lighting, music and great selection of drinks. Ribeye : medium cooked with red wine sauce. Amazing cook, tender and very flavorful! Would order again. Mac and Cheese: creamy and nice touch of crunch from breadcrumbs. Mashed potatoes: best side! A must try. Mushroom fries: it came with this green basil sauce/aïoli which made it good for a non mushroom eater. Our waiter was super sweet. We were given a free dessert to celebrate our anniversary! FYI they validate parking tickets read more

Solid restaurant for sure, appetizers like the Bone Marrow Carne Asada was absolutely perfectly made! The filet was a good cut but slightly over cooked, and the sides came out 10 mins after the steaks. Other than that, the service was very professional and we had an intelligent waiter! The ambiance was hectic because there was a concert across the way at the KINGS Stadium but it was really fun evening. read more

Great service and reasonable pricing but the steak and burger didn't meet our taste bud expectation ! The hanger steak was marinated too sweet lack that wood fired taste we were looking for ! Burger on the other hand needed a little seasoned but everything came out hot ! The portabella fries was amazing , oysters were fresh and the macaroni and cheese were enjoyed ! Worth a try if you haven't but don't think we will be coming back read more

Excellent steakhouse. We loved our food. We all ordered the rib-eye. It was cooked to perfection. The ribeye had lots of flavor. We did not even need the sauce on the side. The chips are very good as well. They have a nice crunch. The house old fashioned is amazing. Not too sweet. The prices are a little steep for dinner. If you want to go a little cheaper, check out their lunch menu. I've tried the spot in Vegas and I was happy to find the one here in Sacramento. I've tried all the cuts over time, and my favorite is the ribeye due to flavor of the meat. Definitely treat yourself with a yummy steak. They take reservations. The wait staff were really nice and on it. read more

I've passed by this place so many times. It looked fancy and a little intimidating. And today I finally decided to go in. Food and drink were pretty good and the place is beautifully decorated. Thoughts from first visit: I stopped by in the afternoon for a drink and snack while I read. The place is not busy at the time of my visit which is nice. For snack I got: Oysters- the oysters are fresh however there are little pieces of shells everywhere. It comes with two sauces I love the red wine vinegar. Just be careful of shells when eating it~ Samosa Cigar- such fun shape in samosa. It is fried perfectly. The inside is not as flavorful as a traditional samosa but it is still very delicious. Along with the sauce is chefs kiss! For drinks I got: Pig & The Lady- it's is tropical and delicious! Tart from the passion fruit. This drink is so good! A unique creation the bartender whipped up, it's like a cosmo but with tequila. When I was ordering a second sip, they ran out of gin for that drink. So the bartender said I'll whip something up. Very cool. Service is nice and helpful. The place is connected to the Sawyer hotel so you would go across the hotel lobby to use the restroom. A nice little walk cuz the hotel is beautiful too~ Considering this is a fancy place, the food and drinks are priced as expected. I would definitely come back for the Pig & The Lady~ Updated and more thought from second visit: I did come back for Pig & The Lady and more reading. And service is incredible this time. It was a 4.2 star last visit but this visit is for sure 5 stars! Above and beyond service. I was asked if I had any allergies after ordering, which is very thoughtful. I got the crab cake this time and it was delicious. Just as delicious as the samosa cigar from last time. I also got the bread service this time and I really enjoyed their bread. It's toasted so well and delightfully tasty with salted butter. Very much enjoyed this visit! read more

Steaks are great and cooked perfectly. Side. Highlight was portebello fries. Other stuff was meh. Octopus salad was a bean salad. The wait time for ordering was aweful. If they have service in banquet room, walk out. Ambiance Chic place wrecked by very loud noise level No bueno read more

What a tremendous experience. Every aspect of it from start to finish was exactly what I'd call an elevated dining experience. We came here for our anniversary and received excellent service. We were served by Isa, who had tremendous customer service, excellent knowledge of the menu, and made our evening feel very special. On top of that the food was phenomenal. We started with the burnt ends, thick cut bacon, and crab cake... each of which were absolutely delicious. It was clear that, even as steakhouses go, this is a craft and an art for Echo & Rig. We ordered the Ribeye and the Zabuton steaks and both were cooked to perfection, tender, and full of flavor. Echo & Rig is an upscale, trendy, and yet somehow casual place. An ideal spot to meet for drinks at the bar, share appetizers, or like us, enjoy a nice anniversary meal. We very much look forward to returning in the future! read more

We went to Echo and Rig for my birthday as it serves halal steaks (Creekstone). We made a reservation which allowed us to get in quick. The ambiance was very nice and it felt like everyone was there celebrating their birthdays. The server we had was amazing and even the manager came out to wish me a Happy Birthday! They were very attentive to our dietary restrictions. I would make sure to let them know you only eat halal as they do use beef tallow on their steak and potato chips which is not halal. With that onto the food: Bread/ butter: it was absolutely delicious. One of the best breads I've been served as it was warm and the butter room temperature. I would go back just for the bread. Burrata and focaccia with burnt orange sauce: this one was good. The orange sauce was a little too strong for me but the focaccia bread was good. I enjoyed it but probably not re-order Ribeye steak: this was cooked perfect medium. I had no issues with this one. Will get it again. Mashed potatoes: sooo good. It was creamy and got plenty of butter. Definitely need to get every time you get the steak. Overall 5/5. Will come back for future celebrations! read more

Stayed at Kimpton and ate breakfast here for convenience. Regret my decision. The food was bad. I was one of four customers in restaurant. Ordered eggs. You can see the kitchen and people looked busy but my plate took a long time to arrive - glacial. What appeared was barely cooked bacon, overtly greasy (unappetizing) potato mixture and lukewarm eggs. Asked for a fruit plate expecting cantaloupe , honey dew but got berries and a banana cut up to make plate look full. I left hungry. Choose elsewhere for breakfast. read more

Stopped by Echo & Fig in Sacramento for a solo dinner and had a solid experience overall. Chris was a great server, I was on a work call and he was courteous, attentive, and respectful of my timing. Service felt seamless. The portobello fries were fresh, crispy, and flavorful with a perfect dipping sauce, definitely a highlight. I ordered the zabuton steak. It was cooked and salted perfectly, but I probably wouldn't order this cut again. The flavor was very beef-forward , almost like burger meat in steak form. Not bad, just not my preference. Steaks come with house-made kettle chips and one Rockefeller mushroom. All other sides are à la carte. The chips, while house-made, are still just chips. The mushroom unfortunately didn't hit .. it was very dry and shriveled. The berry "shortcake" also missed the mark for me. The hibiscus was extremely chewy, and the shortcake itself was savory with a firm, almost hard biscuit texture, not what I expect when ordering shortcake. The ice cream was good, but overall the dessert was just okay. Ambiance is medium upscale with a romantic edge with a good mix of after-work diners and date nights. I'd return for the appetizers and service. read more

Dined here several times when I used to live in the area. When we visit we attempt to go back as it is convenient to the hotel. Variety of standard selections. Portabelo fries were amazing. Soups are good. The bone marrow asada needs some work. We go the tomahawk with broccoli, and mac/cheese and the portions are large which I completely forgot... Tried some of their specialty cocktails which are on the sweeter side. Service was good frequent checks and refills. I do recommend getting a cut with sides from the beginning as portions can be large. Then if still hungry add in the small plates and other. The place feels sterile due to the cold low LED lights, if those lights can be warm, it can make it a bit more intimate. read more

We loved this spot and will be our new steak house!! We moved here fromSJ and thought we lost hope in steak houses. We've gone to butcher and barrel and it was mediocre. The calamari was tender. The fried olives were perfectly salty. And the bread was like a croissant sourdough. Delectable!! They gave us a complimentary fried spinach salad which was exceptional. I would come back for that alone. We also got a rare tomahawk at 43 ounces. Cooked to perfect and seasoned well. I would hands down come back here especially the spinach salad and tomahawk This place was a wonderful surprise!! I believe our server was Jorge. He was great. Offered suggestions without pressure. read more

Located in the DOCO plaza and connected to the Kimpton Sawyer Hotel is Echo & Rig. Been wanting to try this place for a while and since it's pretty pricey, wanted to wait for a special occasion to come. (They validate parking for 2 hours.) We made reservations online and arrived a little early. Didn't realize there was a Kings game the same day and the bar was busy, however the restaurant itself was okay and had plenty of seating available for dining in. The Ambiance: The front entrance doors were opened and stayed open because it was physically smoky (most likely from the kitchen in the back) and had a bbq like smell. Wasn't a fan of the smoke or smell but it is what it is. I feel bad for the employees if it's like that everyday. The service: We were seated in about 10 minutes. The hostesses were friendly. Our server was Jorge, he was nice. One of the Food runner's Jahee, was great (sorry if name was misspelled). I appreciate that the staff were great about refilling our water. The food: It was our first time here and we tried the: (Complimentary) Bread & whipped butter 10/10 Samosa cigars 6/10 Portobello mushroom fries 10/10 Burnt pork ends 8/10 Broccolini 7/10 Fingerling potatoes 6/10 Tomahawk 6/10 I really wanted to like this place, but unfortunately it didn't quite hit the mark for me. I was disappointed most in the tomahawk steak. The smallest size available was 50 oz and for a $155 steak, I thought it'd be the best steak I've her had. It was tough and chewy and the outside crust was burnt. The chips that come with it were good, they look like they're made in-house. The stars of the show were the bread & whipped butter (both were light and fluffy), the portobello mushroom fries (juicy mushrooms and perfectly fried), the burnt pork ends (fatty, tender, and perfectly cooked). read more

We went for our anniversary, and the location didn't disappoint. From the door to our table, the entire staff was perfect. The menu offers an extensive selection of shareable appetizers. We ordered max and cheese, fried spinach salad, the crab cakes, and grilled thick-cut bacon, all of which were 10/10. For our mains, my wife ordered their Branzino, and I ordered the Duroc pork chop. I was really excited as I wanted to compare the flavors between Kurobuta pork and Duroc pork. My wife loved he fish, it's her new favorite. My pork chop came out underdone, they offered to remake it and brought out a new one, but honestly, it was done but overcooked. I finished it as well, you never waste protein, need those gains (lol) Here is why the rating was still a four: mistakes happen. Our waiter took care of it; he removed the app and the chop from the order as compensation for the trouble. The manager then brought the plate to our table and waited until I cut into it, and it was cooked thoroughly. 10/10 for the service and handling of this. We will definitely be back. read more

Overall? Really impressed. They delivered the full package, ambience, attentive service, and a menu with some standout highs. The space strikes a nice balance between elevated and approachable, and the experience felt thoughtfully curated from start to finish. I'd absolutely return for another round Parking? Valet available, street parking with various garage options We had: House Bread (5/5): Phenomenal. Crisp on the outside, light and fluffy inside, this bread was unexpectedly one of the best parts of the meal. Served with a lightly whipped butter that melted perfectly into each bite, it was dangerously good. Honestly, it could've been an entree on its own. I had to actively stop myself from going back for more Sweet Fire Cauliflower (5/5): Absolute standout. Perfectly crispy, with a texture that felt straight out of a Korean fried chicken joint. The sweet and spicy flavor was bold but balanced, coating each bite without making it soggy. Hands down the must order dish Fried Spinach (4/5): This dish had great potential and mostly delivered. The spinach was lightly fried and flavorful, with a nice savory base. The combo of red onion, cauliflower, and broccoli gave it some body, and the chile lime vinaigrette added a zippy, tangy brightness that kept it interesting. But what it really needed was more crunch. A little more texture would have taken this from good to amazing. Still, it's a creative, bold side that's worth a try Bone Marrow Carne Asada (2/5): This dish felt like it came from an entirely different kitchen, and not in a good way. The bone marrow was barely there, both in flavor and portion, and the generous heap of onions on top made it seem like they were trying to hide that fact. The carne asada itself was fine at best, underseasoned and forgettable. The bread it came with was serviceable, but I actually ended up using the house bread instead (which says a lot). Definitely the weak link of the night and an easy pass next time Zabuton (4.5/5): Tender, rich, and packed with deep beef flavor, this zabuton cut delivered. The marbling was spot on, and it melted beautifully with each bite. Just a touch more char or contrast would've made it perfect, but was still a top tier steak worth savoring read more

Parking is either valet, local parking garages (beware some close at 7PM) or metered street parking. It's located on the first floor of the building. You can ask reception and they'll guide you to the entrance. Arrived on time for the reservation. Service was excellent. It was a large party each with their our peculiar way of ordering. Our server was amazing, heavy pours, attentive, and patient. We tried basically every appetizer (the portobello mushroom with aioli were delectable!). Entrees ranged from seafood to steak. Everyone enjoyed their meal. A must try! read more

Dined here when in a business trip and staying at the Kimpton Sawyer. It was conveniently located inside the hotel and just off the lobby. It was busy but was still seated and able quickly. Drinks were ice cold and strong. I would have liked to enjoy my meal at the bar but it was packed. Ended up consuming everything at the dining area. The place is beautiful, clean and comfy. Food was delicious and the service was excellent. I wouldn't hesitate to dine here again when in town. Thank you Echo and Rig for the experience. read more

So my food is always delicious here! I've been 3 times now. Yesterday we went for Father's Day for my dad. Soon as we walk in we notice it's REALLY WARM inside. Very uncomfortable temperatures! Not sure why the restaurant is so hot! The light in our booth was off so it was pretty dark. But all the booth lights were off so maybe they come on during a certain time. Then a fight breaks out and it's taking a long time to break up. That scared me because it felt like it was moving slowly towards our table. I was really bummed out that this happened as this was a special day for my dad. We asked for additional bread but weren't given any until I asked a second time by a different employee. read more

Very good food. For being the only 2 people at the bar for a while, took a min to get a cocktail. Steak frites were $26 and always great. Cooked medium. NY egg sandwich ($14) comes with bacon which is fantastic! On a nice toasty bun. Fantastic! Lovely atmosphere for people watching. read more

We had the chance to try Echo & Rig the day before Mother's Day, and overall it was a great experience. For small plates, we ordered the portobello mushroom fries and the pork belly burnt ends. The mushroom fries were delicious, especially paired with the dipping sauce on the side. The pork belly burnt ends were packed with flavor and had an amazing glaze. The portion was definitely on the smaller side, but still worth it for the taste. For drinks, we tried the Blueberry Bliss, Pig & Lady, and the Blackberry Margarita. The Blackberry Margarita was easily our favorite -- not overly sweet and perfectly balanced with the margarita mix. For the main course, the three of us shared the porterhouse bone-in, tomahawk bone-in, and the ribeye cap filet. All three steaks were incredible, but the porterhouse stood out as the best overall. The marbling was perfect, and every steak was cooked to perfection. The mashed potatoes were a little underseasoned, but honestly paired well with the richness and saltiness of the steaks. The mac & cheese, however, was absolutely outstanding. The only downside was the ambiance due to how busy Mother's Day weekend was. The restaurant was extremely smoky and very hot inside, and it seemed like there wasn't enough ventilation. We completely understand longer wait times during a busy holiday weekend, but it would've been more comfortable with better airflow. Even some of the staff near the front looked overheated and were fanning themselves. That said, our server Christian made the experience even better. He was attentive, accommodating, and gave excellent recommendations throughout the night. Overall, despite the ventilation issue, the food and service absolutely made this a place we'd come back to. read more

The Mrs. wanted to have a nice steak dinner date before seeing a movie at the DOCO. Upon walking in, did notice some of the booths have some massive tears and patched up with duct tape. Upon being seated, 3 people came up to us to ask us if it was our first time and we were also asked by the hostess who walked us to our table. Seemed excessive and shows lack of cohesion with the front of house. We ordered some cocktails, a gin city and a dress to empress. My wife liked her cocktail ok but quickly switched to wine. My gin city was not well balanced. It sat with 2 sips taken almost the entire service and no one asked me about it. We started with thick cut bacon, roasted broccolini, shrimp cocktail, fried spinach salad (I know, but someone recommended it), a bavette steak, and a ribeye cap steak. What I liked: cook of the steaks were on point. The thick cut bacon was solid. What was fine: The broccolini had a decent smoky quality to it. What needed help: The shrimp cocktail came with 3 shrimp for $18. Kind of a weird number for an item often shared between 2 people and certainly not a good value at $6 per shrimp. I don't like that they include zero weights for the steaks. Most great steakhouses will do this. What I hated: The sides that come with the steak are poorly executed and unnecessary. The potato chips were burnt and completely unseasoned. The stuffed mushrooms were dry and tasted of almost nothing (very underseasoned). So much prep and cost to have these sides just drag down the overall value/experience. They just became a nuisance that I had to eat around because there was no way I was gonna eat it all. The fried spinach salad was a greasy over-dressed mess. Would have never ordered this without a recommendation, but this thing isn't even a salad nor is it executed well. I see that this place wants to be upscale, but it's not. The front of house hasn't improved since they opened (2019??). The cocktails aren't great but they are just as expensive as anywhere else. The sides for the steak are a crime. Just leave them off! This still feels like a place that can't quite figure it out. Granted, Sac is kind of a terrible steak town so that has worked in favor of weaker steak experiences à la Echo and Rig, but I doubly this place has what it takes to truly last. I wouldn't come back at this point. read more

This was our 2nd time attempting to eat at Echo & Rig, first time the wait was too long but the 2nd time I made a reservation and got in! So on to the visit, we had a reservation at 6:30 and was sat at 6:30 which was great! The food, we loved the bread and the Caesar salad. The oyster were smaller the expected but the mignonette was delicious. I asked the waitress which steak she would suggest and she suggested filet tenderloin or the Spencer, I went with the Spencer it was cooked well but under seasoned. The chimichurri added a lot of flavor, the roasted garlic mash was good but also under salted. My husband got the swordfish and he enjoyed it. The restaurant is beautiful and the wait staff was really good. The manager even came over to welcome us since it was our first visit. I would go back again and try a different steak. read more

My significant other and I made a reservation for 8:45pm on a Saturday night and we only waited for a few minutes to be seated! The interior was sleek and modern imo and it gave good vibes. i was seated facing towards the kitchen and i like the open kitchen concept, it's kind of fun to peek over once in a while to look! For appetizers we got the: - 1/2 Oysters: i honestly don't remember what the name of the oysters were, they were on the smaller side but veryyyyy fresh and veryyy goooood!! i also liked the small attention to detail they had because the lemon also had a covering so the seeds wouldn't fall out! - Burnt Pork Belly Ends: i thought the pork belly itself was good but the sauce was a bit too sweet for my taste so it wasn't my favorite - Mac and Cheese: We got this complimentary from our waiter which was soo sweet because we were debating on this and the pork belly ends and he said it complimented each other and he was right! it was sooo good and sooo cheesy and creamy and the breadcrumbs on the top helped give it a lil bit of texture! chefs kiss hehe I got the: - Ribeye Steak Sandwhich: first of all, the chips in the side were so addicting lol you can tell they were freshly made and i just loved the crunch. The sandwhich itself was also delicious, the steak was cooked well and i had some fatty parts (which are my fav) and the aoili complimented it very well. I would probably get it again LOL For drinks, I got the Hot Mess and my significant other got the Cucumber Cooler but with tequila added. Both were good and quite refreshing. Shout out to Isa for giving us recommendations on which drinks to get, she was very sweet and talked and took care of us a bit before she had to leave! Huge shoutout to Jorge for being such a sweet server! He came by and checked on us constantly to make sure everything was okay and made sure we didn't need anything. He gave us solid recommendations and gave us the mac and cheese and dessert on the house! Such an unexpected gesture that was very appreciated and made our date night feel so much more fun and special! THANK YOU JORGE!! I definitely recommend checking out this place when you're around the doco area, and there's also so much things nearby to check out too so perfect for a date night typa night :-) read more

The sides seem premade not made to order so they didn't come out hot. I ordered a cut that turned out to be chewy and tasted a bit like liver. I guess if you like that cut it's OK but I don't so I felt mislead. It would be better just to say tell it's chewy and tender so you don't waste $48 dollars. This is a place that butchers their own meat. I ordered Bernaise sauce that had to be spoiled because it smelled like butter milk. I have never ever tasted Bernaise sauce so terrible before and no tarragon to be found, must be a mix as it was so thick. When we told the girl the Bernaise sauce smelled and tastes bad, she said I just didn't like theirs. She immediately started bagging our food not really offering dessert until we asked. The dessert consisted mostly of ice cream and three pastries. It's a bar atmosphere if you go before 9;00 the atmosphere is probably quieter and nicer. It's a bit over priced for what you might expect. Disappointed and still hungry. read more

My wife and I chose Echo & Rig for our 17th anniversary because it's the only place we've found serving grass-fed/finished steak. Unfortunately, the lack of hospitality standards ruined what should have been a premium dining experience. Because we look young for our age, we were subjected to casual, patronizing ageism that upscale establishments should train their staff to avoid and some of the food was as bad as their attitudes. Upon arrival, the hostess ignored us until we spoke, demanding to know if we had a reservation with an unwarranted attitude. Her mood adjust a bit after I confirmed. After seating us, she clumsily asked my wife if it was "her anniversary," looked at me, and blurted, "Oops, I meant your anniversary. You two are together" before walking off. This was our second visit; the first was overly salty, but we chalked it up to a busy Friday. This time was worse. Our watermelon, cucumber, and onion salad consisted of flavorless white rind and tough cucumber skins tossed on a plate. My wife's steak arrived completely charred on the outside while remaining raw on the inside. Luckily, my steak was edible enough to share so we didn't have to ruin the night sending hers back. Furthermore, the restaurant's acoustics are incredibly poor. The dark booths have an echo and tables placed so far apart that you can barely hear the person across from you; we even witnessed another couple request to move. Later, when I asked for the bill, the waitress made a condescending remark about how "ready" I was with my card. Treating me like a young boy playing adult rather than a paying corporate professional. Despite our milestone being noted, she never once acknowledged the anniversary. Looking young or being a diverse couple should never dictate the level of respect you receive. We paid in full and still tipped well, because this failure falls squarely on management. I cannot be angry at the staff for failing to uphold standards they were clearly never taught. read more

The environment is quiet and elegant, suitable for chatting and talking about things. The service level is also very good.

WHY WE WENT HERE: - dinner THE LOOK (FROM THE OUTSIDE): - we parked in one of the parking garages off J St and walked over; we entered through the main entrance of Kimpton - we were greeted at the hotel entrance and asked if we were looking for Revival or Echo & Rig; we were then taken through the lobby entrance into Echo & Rig THE LOOK (FROM THE INSIDE): - once inside Echo & Rig, we saw that the seating is generous; booths, bar seating, and a semi private dining experience in the rear THE (DINNER) MENU: - small plates & vegetables - soups - chilled seafood - salads - sandwiches - from the butcher - bone-in cuts - sauces - signature burger & fries - seafood - entrees WHAT WE ORDERED: - Blueberry Bliss - Hibiscus Haze, - pineapple with casamigos - sweet fire cauliflower - roasted broccolini - samosa cigars - brussels sprout leaves, pistachio, lemon - bone marrow carne asada - bavette with chimichurri - zabuton with charred onion THE TASTE: - cocktails were good; on the strong side - all of the small plates & vegetables we ordered were stellar (if we were to dine here again, it would be strictly for this portion of the menu) - the steaks were underwhelming - chimichurri was disappointing - charred onion sauce was good - it was different seeing the steaks come with garlic chips and the mushroom Rockefeller; the garlic chips were made in-house and reminded me of Terra vegetable chips, but there were way more of those than the steak itself; the mushroom Rockefeller was very plain CUSTOMER SERVICE: - forgot the name of our server, but he was attentive but not overbearing read more

"It was a bumpy road," which our server admitted. We came to celebrate our son's college graduation. Food was ok. But the following knocked a few stars off. 1. Allergy adherence: they asked if anyone had allergy, and one of our guests informed the wait staff that she had severe nut allergy. The seared ahi tuna dish came with pine nuts! We were glad that the guest checked her plate first. As we waited a long time for the food, She ended up trading her plate with another guest. We informed the staff of what happened. 2. Wrong cocktail: served us wrong order. Wait staff offered to comp the drink and tried to walk off. We had to insist on sending back. 3. AC not working: the AC was completely not working. The hostess seated us at "the chef's table," and we felt the kitchen heat blasting at us every time the kitchen door was opened. We felt for the staff too. 4. Unusual long wait for the food & drinks. read more

Right outside of the golden 1 center , the ambience was very elegant. Came to celebrate my friend's 30th birthday . They gave us a complimentary bread and butter. We also got a kale salad , that was really good! Very light and refreshing. We all ordered the Spencer cut that was served with chips and a stuffed mushroom Rockefeller . The Mac and cheese was good. The only thing I would complain, is that I did not like the chimichurri sauce they had. It lacked so much flavor and I only tasted the olive oil . Was very upset about that , gratefully our server was very calm and understanding and replaced it with the charred onion sauce. It was better , had more flavor than the chimichurri . Our bill overall was 186$ which was not bad at all ! For 3 with all the food we ordered Definitely worth coming back! read more
